AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new way to create maps of different countries or regions of the world. These maps show where different types of companies are located, along with other important details like their names and what kind of services they offer. There are also colored markers on these maps that indicate things like how well those companies are doing at preventing money laundering (which means hiding illegal funds) or fighting corruption. By looking at this combined data, researchers hope to better understand the risks related to certain industries or nations.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patent is the lack of a fast and effective tool to analyze risks associated with business activities around the globe, particularly those caused by corruption or money laundering. There is a need for a system and process to quickly identify areas of potential danger and mitigate against them.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]FIG. 1 shows the layers of a map 100 used to display the various layers of data to allow a user to combine data on businesses, of the type collected by The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation and data concerning the extent of risk of doing business due to money laundering or corruption in a given country in which a business organization, or a part of that organization may be located.

[0029]In general, to provide the layers discussed below, a geographic data source such as, for example, the Google-maps Javascript library and the features provided by the Google-maps library can be used. Country boundary (latitude and longitude) information for all the Country and the States of US and the provinces of Canada is available for the user interface layers, as discussed below.

[0030]A first layer 110 of map 100 is a geographic map layer (preferably of the world), or a part of the world. First layer 110 may be generated by using the Google Maps API. It will be understood that other mapping techn...

Abstract

A geographic heat map has a first layer having a map of countries; a second layer superimposed upon and in alignment with the first layer including locations of various entities on the map; and a third layer superimposed on the second layer and in alignment with the first layer, the third layer having information concerning risk in the countries displayed in the first layer. The map can be a world map, and the third layer can display data representative of at least one of risk of corruption and risk of money laundering in the countries on the map. A system, a method and a computer readable non-transitory storage medium for generating the geographic map are disclosed.
